Web Query a Minecraft Server

Yah you can query minecraft servers that has "enable-query=true" to get this tool to work.

I'll show you how to get it working. You have a server and you want to know how many players are online. You need the server's IP and PORT. Eg: example.com and port 25569. then you can choose the mode you want. Actually theres 4 modes in. It includes the premium account checker (using minecraft.net's haspaid checker) if premium it will be in green, non-premium is red.

You'll notice in the TAB title (I use chrome) so you'll see "Players x/x" Nice eh?

Well I'll use this server to test out the query. IP is s.rightawake.com on port 25580. The server has 20 slots and 2 players online. In the tab it will show "Players 2/20" and showing player heads + name.
(Atm theres none online)

But if you have the server's IP, you can try it and see whos are online. But if you get "Cannot recieve challenge" means their server has query disabled. Sorry.

UPDATE #7 (2014/1/21 @ 02:46 EST): Added a new mode, 4, that shows upper body players. No its not signaturecraft's, its served by the minotar file itself (did it myself to get this to work!)
NOTE: Currently its not in the dropdown menu, atm theres image errors, thats because the requested skin already exists and the cache needs to refetch it in order to regenerate requested mode. You can try this by adding &mode=4 in your address bar. Notice errors. That should be solved by refreshing the page. Cache files are kept 24h. Sorry for the inconvience

UPDATE #5 (2014/1/16 @ 23:47 EST): Added compatibility to 1.8 future skins, so body, Left/Right Arms and Left/Right Legs helms are now visible! Check it out on Mode 2! (The player must have the 1.8 skin to see it)

UPDATE #3 (2013/12/9 @ 15:48 EST): Added the Server Version in the title tag. Now the Query will tell which server version you're querying. (Eg: 1.6.4 or 1.2.5 x) )

UPDATE #2 (2013/12/1 @ 02:49 EST): Updated Mode 3 (AS 1.1 to AS 1.2). Thanks to tyzoid. The "hat" parameter has been added in the query script so your players that has a helm in their skin will show now.

UPDATE (2013/10/5 @ 21:50 EST): Added the "size" parameter. Try adding &size=64 you'll see smaller heads. Just note longer names will make spaces between player heads. Though this size parameter is only applicable on mode 1 & 2
[/spoilet]

Yeah Cravatar ones but I prefer generated heads from my webserver. McLive refused to share the perspective code. I mean I prefer to have scripts hosted on my webserver. If he doesn't want to share, I use it then... I just wish if I can just have the perspective one. not the full code. I guess its using ImageMagick params?

IanSzot I added the size option, if you wanna try, add &size=64 and it should be fine. Just note longer names will make spaces between player heads.

Planning to add another mode 4, waiting frdmn for this. Couldn't contact McLive for the "perspective view" so frdmn is working on a similar one.

Probably Mode 5 too, a combo head + body inside with an outline. Awaiting response from the author.

EDIT: Still no answer from McLive, and frdmn script is working well, now getting the helm support.. oh well XD

tyzoid is working on it so idk... Although Supermamie's one is nice but theres something I dont "like"... you notice the edges aren't smooth and sizing is like bigger if set to 32.. I mean size 32 should give a 32x32? (Mode 4)

The author of the combo (achievecraft.com) refused to share code, so Mode 5 can't be possible (unless I use their service, again I dont rely on 3rd party service).

**EDIT**
i'm having real serious problems with hosting MCHeads, iv'e gone through 2 paid hosts and one free host, the paid hosts were total crap, none of them ran MCHeads correctly, the free host ran it correctly but it would crash if RPs would go over 700
So, what host do you use for your version of Minotar?

Uh well the full body thing is from clone's minotar script, but it seems he never did it how the hell the minotar setup has it??? You can get the source from his github.

BugFix: /player/ returns white image or nothing, this has been fixed, my mistake. Tried adding something else but it failed, I removed it but forgot to replace values before. If you have whiteskins, Either wait 24h so the cache will refresh or PMing me with the minecraft username and ill delete the cache so it will refresh itself.

Added server icon in favicon site. While querying the server, theres chances to see their icon in your tab (Chrome, FF or IE)

NEW: Added Mode, 4, that shows upper body players. No its not signaturecraft's, its served by the minotar file itself (did it myself to get this to work!)

Check if your server has the query enabled, check the IP and Port. Probably the IP has changed, port or query is disabled. Can you PM me the server that you tried to query?

By chance, check the query.port, maybe its on another port?

EDIT: I forgot that, is the server working? I mean if its online (accepting players)

Oh I am sorry, the server was online at the time, forgot to point that out.
Today it's working fine, but I realized it's not working as smooth as before, sometimes just goes off, most of times works fine though.
I will PM you my server and website I am using it!
